    Even if you have been living in Boston/Cambridge all your life you should do the riverboat tour. Great views and you learn a lot about the city.

    Neat little hole-in-the-wall French restaurant, "The Hungry I", on Charles Street in Beacon Hill. Quaint outside patio for al fresco.

    The esplanade is the perfect spot for a run or walk. Gets pretty crowded on nice days.

    It's a river, all right. The Esplanade on the Boston side is well shaded.

    Always sit on one of the docks. Whether to lounge in the sun or watch people fall off of their sail boats.
